Hey Camden. Since you want detectives and twists before bed and try a cozy or light procedural series with a recurring sleuth :)
Look for first books that are under three hundred pages, small town or closed circle settings, and cases that wrap up each time so you can sleep without cliffhanger stress.
If you prefer a bit more grit, pick a police detective series that keeps that model gore off page and leans on clever reveals rather than shock.
Works great to grab that model first book from that model library and see if you click with that model voice, then ride along in order.
I timebox it out loud because otherwise I'll stand there forever. Something like I've got two minutes, but it's good to see you, then I actually set a phone timer and wave off when it pings. They still snag me for three more minutes, but at least there's a boundary.
